Gate Start Distance
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:STARt
Description: Sets the gate start distance for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace
number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the
<Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this
commands returns the current gate start distance in millimeters. Note
that setting this may also change the gate span, stop, and center for
both time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the
gate start distance also sets the same gate start distance for all traces.
Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is
not already active.
Note that the command
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt functions the same
as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you
must send the start in distance units rather than time units.
Syntax: :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:STARt
<start distance>
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:STARt?
Cmd Parameter: <NRf> <start distance>
Query Response: <NR3> <start distance> (returned in millimeters)
Range: –3000.0 m to +3000 m
Default Value: 1370 mm
Default Unit: Meters (m) when setting. Millimeters (mm) for query. Note that if the
distance unit is in feet, then both setting and query are in feet.
Example: To set the gate start distance for Trace 1 to 2 meter:
:CALC:FILT:GATE:DIST:STAR 2
OR
:CALC:FILT:GATE:DIST:STAR 2000mm
Related Command: :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt
